    I agree, the film is a complete mess and absolutely *. Looks and sounds amazing though, as a spectacle it's quality.

    Went and saw this on Wednesday and have the following thoughts which got on my goat...

    - the "superman" Leia space float thingy scene... *!

    - The forced humour was cringy

    - Who the * was Snoke? What's the back story between him and Kylo?

    - Kylo is thick that he didn't realise Luke was * with him at the end.

    - The Finn and Rose storyline was superfluous. It was likely only introduced to keep Finn in the movie.

    I thought it was annoying but my biggest thing was that once again they blatently ripped of events from the original trilogy. If you've seen the originals you could easily guess how scenes were going to end
    The way Rey gives herself up to turn kylo to the light...exactly the same as return of the Jedi so you knew kylo was going to end up killing snkoke etc
    By the end I was like the only thing theyve missed is a battle on an icy planet onround * of and 2 seconds later they show up at hoth, I'm like of course aye.

    All that being said, I did really enjoy the movie and would definitely watch it again. The Admiral going lightspeed through the Dreadnaugt was an amazing scene. The film as a whole was a spectical as Artorias said above.

    Finally watched this last night and I completely agree with those points.

    I really enjoyed the film and I find the "it's a disgrace", "the worst Star Wars film ever" comments utterly baffling. Of course it wasn't perfect, in fact there's a number of plot holes and needless scenes. However I don't have a clue why many people have so much hate for it.

    The biggest problems I have are the lack of Snoke's back story (missed opportunity), Leia flying through space and the pink haired woman who, for whatever reason, decided not to say what her plan was and almost got everyone killed.

    I thought the idea to have Kylo and Rey communicate in the way they did was original and well done...however the revelation that they have zero connection to each other, and it was Snoke who has brought them together, was weird and a disappointment.

    Overall though, it's a good film with some original ideas.

    Basically, people hate that so much time was spent on female and minority characters.

    The same people who also lionize Leia, Padme, Lando & Mace Windu. This argument is lazy buddy.

    The Last Jedi is hated because it's a crap movie.

    The reaction this film got from people was hilarious, adults having meltdowns over the most ridiculous things.

    It’s not a crap movie in the slightest.

    I don’t have a clue what people were wanting from it, tbh. Fair enough if it was a disappointment, but it’s a good film.

    People wanted a 60 year old Luke Skywalker doing Jedi flips and mowing down hundreds of Stormtroopers with his lightsaber *.

    But Luke wouldn't have tried to kill Ben Solo! Luke wouldn't have ran away and hid! Luke, Luke Luke!

    People who hated it don't like the fact it didn't fulfill fan-service by having Luke jumping about like Ben Kenobi and Anakin in Attack of the Clones - one of the worst films i think i've ever seen nevermind a Star Wars film. I like it for that reason.

    Edit: It's why they re-shot the end of Rogue One - to include the Darth Vader scene. Because in the original films he does hardly * all to show how handy with a lightsaber he was.
    This needs to be seen otherwise people won't believe how bad * he really was. :87:

    Anyone who thinks this film isn't * * is wrong or isn't a Star Wars fan because it's absolutely pish and liberal as *

    Aye one of the biggest complaints I’ve heard from people reviewing it is...

    “They destroyed Luke. He was always full of hope and optimism but now he’s * off at the world and reclusive.”

    Eh...his nephew just killed a bunch of kids under Luke’s care and is now one of the biggest * around. Obviously Luke isn’t going to be loving life.

    Imagine wetting your bed cause a film about space ninjas has too many women and "coloureds" in it.
